NASA warming scientist: 'This is the last chance' -
Exactly 20 years after warning America about global warming, a top NASA scientist said the situation has gotten so bad that the world's only hope is drastic action.
James Hansen told Congress on Monday that the world has long passed the "dangerous level" for greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and needs to get back to 1988 levels. He said Earth's atmosphere can only stay this loaded with man-made carbon dioxide for a couple more decades without changes such as mass extinction, ecosystem collapse and dramatic sea level rises.
"We're toast if we don't get on a very different path," Hansen, director of the Goddard Institute of Space Sciences who is sometimes called the godfather of global warming science, told The Associated Press. "This is the last chance."

Hansen brought global warming home to the public in June 1988 during a Washington heat wave, telling a Senate hearing that global warming was already here. To mark the anniversary, he testified before the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming where he was called a prophet, and addressed a luncheon at the National Press Club where he was called a hero by former Sen. Tim Wirth, D-Colo., who headed the 1988 hearing.
To cut emissions, Hansen said coal-fired power plants that don't capture carbon dioxide emissions shouldn't be used in the United States after 2025, and should be eliminated in the rest of the world by 2030. That carbon capture technology is still being developed and not yet cost efficient for power plants.
Burning fossil fuels like coal is the chief cause of man-made greenhouse gases. Hansen said the Earth's atmosphere has got to get back to a level of 350 parts of carbon dioxide per million. Last month, it was 10 percent higher: 386.7 parts per million.
Hansen said he'll testify on behalf of British protesters against new coal-fired power plants. Protesters have chained themselves to gates and equipment at sites of several proposed coal plants in England.
"The thing that I think is most important is to block coal-fired power plants," Hansen told the luncheon. "I'm not yet at the point of chaining myself but we somehow have to draw attention to this."
Frank Maisano, a spokesman for many U.S. utilities, including those trying to build new coal plants, said while Hansen has shown foresight as a scientist, his "stop them all approach is very simplistic" and shows that he is beyond his level of expertise.
The year of Hansen's original testimony was the world's hottest year on record. Since then, 14 years have been hotter, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
wo decades later, Hansen spent his time on the question of whether it's too late to do anything about it. His answer: There's still time to stop the worst, but not much time.
"We see a tipping point occurring right before our eyes," Hansen told the AP before the luncheon. "The Arctic is the first tipping point and it's occurring exactly the way we said it would."
Hansen, echoing work by other scientists, said that in five to 10 years, the Arctic will be free of sea ice in the summer.

Longtime global warming skeptic Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., citing a recent poll, said in a statement, "Hansen, (former Vice President) Gore and the media have been trumpeting man-made climate doom since the 1980s. But Americans are not buying it."
But Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., committee chairman, said, "Dr. Hansen was right. Twenty years later, we recognize him as a climate prophet."

Destroying Housing in New Orleans
Tuesday, December 25, 2007; Page A24
The Dec. 20 editorial "A Better Life in New Orleans," on the decrepit state of public housing in the city, made several correct points about why public housing there needs improvement but drew the wrong conclusion.
As the editorial noted, continuing a failed approach to public housing would be "the definition of insanity."
The inhuman conditions found in New Orleans's public housing were created by a long policy of calculated indifference to residents' right to live in conditions respectful of their inherent dignity as human beings.
Decades of federal and state underfunding of maintenance led
to scarcities that we, as the richest country in the world,
should be ashamed of.
But destroying public housing without one-for-one replacement
of affordable units, without the democratic input of
residents, and, most crucial, without proper heed being
paid to the human right to enjoy adequate living
conditions would be a step away from the values of
equality and dignity that we as Americans proclaim and
a step back toward the inequality that
Hurricane Katrina so clearly revealed.

New Orleans approves demolitions -
Partially-demolished housing block in New Orleans
(15 December 2007)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7154954.stm
Tensions have been high in New Orleans over a lack of housing
New Orleans City Council has voted to demolish 4,500 public
housing units despite violent protests against
the development project earlier on Monday.
http://www.haarp.net/
http://nwo-warning.tripod.com/haarp2.htm
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development
wants to replace the units, which were damaged by
Hurricane Katrina in 2005, with new mixed-income housing.
But critics say the development will restrict the stock
of cheap housing.
Earlier, police used pepper spray and stun guns
on the protesters when they tried to get into
the council chamber.
Several people were treated for the effects of
the pepper spray.
It is not known if any of the protesters were arrested.
Temporary housing
Following hours of debate and clashes outside the meeting,
New Orleans City Council voted in favour of
the government's plan to replace the decades-old
structures damaged by Katrina to be demolished.
Protester has eyes rinsed of pepper spray outside New Orleans city hall - 20 December 2007
In pictures: City hall clashes
Beforehand, critics of the plan had argued it would further restrict the stock of cheap housing at a time when the city is still struggling to rebuild from Katrina. They also said the brick buildings were still sound and only needed to be renovated.
"It is beyond callous, and can only be seen as malicious discrimination," said Kali Akuno of the Coalition to Stop the Demolition.
"It is an unabashed attempt to eliminate the black population of New Orleans."
But supporters of the demolition plan argued it would allow developers to take advantage of tax breaks and build new neighbourhoods with an allotment of low-income housing.
Thousands of families from the southern states hit by Hurricane Katrina are still living in government-funded temporary housing, including caravan parks.

Vanessa Hollander took this picture Sunday of flooding in Aruba as Hurricane Felix swept over the island.
(CNN) -- Hurricane Felix has grown to a "potentially catastrophic" Category 5 storm packing winds up to 165 mph (270 kph), the National Hurricane Center said late Sunday.
This satellite image, taken at 7:45 p.m. ET on Sunday, shows Felix at Category 5 stage.
1 of 2 more photos » Category 5 is the fiercest class of hurricane, with storm surges greater than 18 feet above normal.
The second hurricane of the Atlantic season, Felix prompted the Honduran government to issue a hurricane watch.
As of 11 p.m. ET, Felix was 345 miles southeast of Kingston, Jamaica, and moving westward in the central Caribbean at 21 mph.
The hurricane watch in Honduras applies from Limon to the Nicaragua border, the NHC said. Hurricane conditions are also possible over extreme northeastern Nicaragua. Felix's projected path »
A hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions are possible in the area within about 36 hours.
The hurricane center called Felix "an extremely powerful" storm but said it "has a very small wind field," with hurricane-force winds currently extending outward up to only 25 miles from the storm's center.
Although a tropical storm watch remained in effect Sunday night for Jamaica and Grand Cayman Island, all watches and storm warnings for the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao had been discontinued.
Felix hit Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire with heavy winds and rain over the weekend. Thousands of tourists took shelter in hotels, The Associated Press reported.
But Bonaire medical administrator Siomara Albertus said she was happy the storm wasn't as bad as she had anticipated. "Thankfully we didn't get a very bad storm," she told the AP. "My dog slept peacefully through the night."
Although long-term predictions of hurricane behavior are not wholly reliable, forecasts called for Felix to pass just north of the Honduran coast before possibly hitting Belize on Tuesday or Wednesday, said CNN meteorologist Jacqui Jeras. Watch CNN's Josh Levs present footage of the storm from CNN's i-Reporters »
Felix is then expected to cross the Yucatan Peninsula and head out over the Gulf of Mexico, Jeras said.

Felix's pace is expected to continue for the next 24 hours as it heads Sunday night away from the Netherlands Antilles and into the open waters of the central Caribbean.
The NHC also said Felix is expected to dump 2 to 4 inches of rain over the Guajira Peninsula of northern Colombia.
Hurricane Dean was the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, hitting Mexico twice in August.
After causing several deaths in the Caribbean, Dean slammed into the Yucatan Peninsula as a Category 5 storm; it hit the Mexican shore again near the key port city of Veracruz as a Category 2 with top sustained winds of 100 mph (160 kph).
In the Pacific, the Mexican government canceled all warnings Saturday night pertaining to Tropical Storm Henriette, as the storm moved away from Mexico's mainland. E-mail to a friend

hi dpb5,,,good morning. i wanted to message about the mining accident in utah.
first said earthquake then the explosion registered 3 point plus for earthquake scale.
men still trapped in the mine.
hope they will live. first 24 hours are the best for recovery.
after that trouble sets in for the families.
i will pray they will return to the surface alive.
Nice job, Mick. THANKS!

Oklahoma Tornado Outbreak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
May 3, 1999, Oklahoma Tornado Outbreak
The May 3, 1999, Oklahoma Tornado Outbreak was the first stage of a severe weather event that lasted from May 3 to May 6 and brought violent storms to Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, and Tennessee. This article concentrates on the events in Oklahoma. On May 3, 66 tornadoes broke out in Oklahoma and Kansas. The most significant tornado first touched down southwest of Chickasha, Oklahoma, and became an F5 before dissipating over Midwest City, Oklahoma. The tornado tore through Bridge Creek, Oklahoma and Moore, Oklahoma, causing 1.1 billion dollars in damage.. Forty-eight people perished during the outbreak. This tornadic event ranks in severity with the Palm Sunday tornado outbreak of 1965. With a total of 66 tornadoes, it was the most prolific tornado outbreak in Oklahoma history, although not the deadliest. There was a Storm Stories episode about this tornado outbreak. It was also featured as a book bonus in an issue of Readers Digest.

Outbreak description
The day started sunny, warm, and humid. The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma initially issued a "slight risk" for severe weather for most of the state of Oklahoma early that morning. By late morning the latest observations and forecasts began to indicate an increasing likelihood of widespread severe weather, and the SPC upgraded sections of the southern plains to "moderate risk." By 3 pm, it had become evident that a widespread severe weather event was imminent. Parts of Oklahoma and Kansas were then further upgraded to "high risk." When a "high risk" is issued, this usually indicates a significant threat for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes including damaging tornadoes. The SPC issued a tornado watch by mid-afternoon as conditions gathered together for what would be a historic tornado outbreak. The CAPE values reached nearly 6,000 J/kg during the day.
The beautiful May morning gave way to raging dark skies in the afternoon. Large supercell thunderstorms developed and in the late afternoon through the mid-evening hours of that Monday, tornadoes began to break out across the state.

some news about earthquake of the past.
http://www.drgeorgepc.com/Earthquake1964Alaska.html
The Great Alaska EarthquakeMarch 27, 1964,
George Pararas-Carayannis
Excerpts from studies undertaken under contract with the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research and from review of the literature. Additional data obtained from the Historical Catalogs of Tsunamis in Alaska. Most photographs were obtained from archives of the International Tsunami Information Center).
Introduction
The second largest earthquake of the 20th Century and the largest ever recorded in the northern hemisphere,occurred in Alaska on March 27, 1964 (3/27/64 05:36:14.0 p.m., local time; 3/28/64 03:36:14.0 GMT). The earthquake had a magnitude 9.2 (Moment Magnitude) and caused extensive damage in Alaska. Local tsunami waves triggered by this earthquake were extremely destructive in Prince William Sound and other areas of Alaska. A Pacific-wide tsunami was generated which was destructive in Western Canada, Oregon, California and the Hawaiian islands. It was recorded by tide gages throughout the Pacific. Even tide gauges in Cuba and Puerto Rico recorded sea level oscillations from that event. A Tsunami Warning was issued by the Tsunami Warning System in Honolulu for Hawaii and the West coast of United States and Canada. Regional Tsunami Warning Centers in Japan, Chile, the former Soviet Union and elsewhere, issued warnings. Combined, the earthquake and tsunami took 125 lives (tsunami 110, earthquake 15), and caused about $311 million in property loss (in 1964 dollars).
Seismic Parameters
Origin Time: (3/27/64, 05:36:14.0 p.m., local time)
Earthquake Magnitude: The Surface-wave magnitude calculated in 1964, was 8.4 on the Richter scale. The Moment Magnitude calculated later was 9.2, making this event the second largest earthquake ever recorded in the world and the largest for the Northern Hemisphere. (Moment Magnitude provides a better measure of energy release for larger earthquakes; the May 22, 1960 earthquake in Chile had a Moment Magnitude of 9.5, the largest earthquake ever recorded).
Epicenter: The epicenter was at 61.04 N. - 147.73 W. (About 10 km east of the mouth of College Fiord, approximately 90 km west of Valdez and 120 km east of Anchorage.)
Focal Depth: Approximately 25 km.
Duration of Rupture: Estimated at approximately 4 minutes (240 sec)
Aftershock Distribution
There were 52 larger aftershocks which were heavily concentrated on the northeast and the southwest of the uplifted region (USC&GS, 1964), (which was also the tsunami generating region). The largest had a magnitude of 6.7. The first 11 of these aftershocks, with magnitude greater than 6.0 on the Richter scale, occurred in the first day; in the next three weeks there were 9 more of similar magnitude. Aftershocks continued for more than a year. Thousands of such smaller aftershocks were recorded in the months following the main earthquake.
The aftershock zone of the Great Alaska Earthquake was about 250 km wide and extended from about 15 km north of Valdez in Prince William Sound for 800 km to the SW end of Kodiak Island to about 55 km. south of the Trinity Islands. The main shock and its aftershocks occurred on a fault which marks part of the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates.
Earthquake Energy: Earthquake Energy can be calculated from empirical relationship of maximum earthquake focal depth H (in km) and Richter earthquake magnitude M (Iida 1958) :
M- 6.42 + 0.01 H
where M is the Richter magnitude given by log E(ergs) - 11.8 + 1.5 M . An estimatesof earthquake energy of approximately 6x10 (raised to the 25 power) in ergs given by the author elsewhere for this earthquake, represents only a portion of the total earthquake energy of the Great Alaska earthquake. Richter magnitude saturates and does not provide a very accurate measure of total earthquake energy. Presently, Moment Magnitude is used as it is a better measure of earthquake energy release. Thus, the energy of the Great Alaska Earthquake was much greater than what has been reported.
Tectonic Movements and Earthquake Triggering Mechanism
Plate Tectonics: The tectonic history of the region shows that the Pacific plate moves in a northwestern direction at about 5 to 7 cm per year. This Pacific tectonic plate movement causes the crust of southern Alaska to be compressed and warped, with some areas along the coast being depressed while other areas inland are being uplifted. At time intervals ranging from tens to hundreds of years, this compression is relieved by the sudden motions of large portions of the coastal portion of Alaska moving back in a southeastern direction over the subducting Pacific plate.
Area Affected by the Earthquake: The tectonic dislocations associated with the Alaska earthquake of 27 March 1964 ranged over a distance of 800 km, from the upper portion of Prince William Sound to southwest of the Trinity Islands, in the Gulf of Alaska. The dislocations follow a dipole pattern of positive and negative displacements on either side of a zero-line which, intersects the east coast of Kodiak Island and continues northeast to the western side of Prince William Sound. There, changing direction, it runs east along the upper part of the Sound. This line roughly parallels the Aleutian Trench axis and separates the Kodiak geosyncline from the shelf geanticline. According to field measurements conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake was accompanied by vertical displacements over an area of about 520,00 square kilometers. These estimates are considerably greater than those reported earlier in the literature and reflect revisions due to subsequent, more complete surveys of land displacements from that earthquake in Alaska. (See parenthetical notes below regarding earthquake area and energy that contributed to the generation of the open sea tsunami)
Area Over Which the Great Alaska Earthquake Was Felt: The earthquake was the strongest ever felt in North America. The area over which it was felt encompassed approximately 1,300,000 km2 (all of Alaska,parts of western Yukon Territory and British Columbia, Canada and the State of Washington).
Horizontal Displacements: As a result of the 1964 earthquake quake, the net horizontal movement of the Pacific plate under the North American plate was about 9 meters on the average in a southeast direction, although some sections apparently moved considerably more. For example, Latouche Island area moved about 18 meters to the southeast.
Uplift and Subsidence: The earthquake caused vertical displacements which ranged from about 15 meters of uplift to 2.3 meters of subsidence relative to sea level. Patterns of uplift and subsidence which had been slowly developing prior to the earthquake were suddenly reversed. For example, average uplift at Montague Island was 4-9 meters while off the southwest end of the island, there was vertical displacement ranging around 13 - 15 meters. Uplift also occurred along the extreme southeast coast of Kodiak Island while at Women's Bay, on the same island, subsidence of 1.7 meters was measured from tide gauges datum. Sitkalidak Island, and over part or all of Sitkinak experience uplift while areas around Portage subsided by as much as 3 meters. Other areas had no change. The zero line (line of no vertical change separating the uplift and subsidence zones) extended from near the epicenter in Prince William Sound to the SE coast of Kodiak Island.
The zone of subsidence covered about approximately 285,000 square kilometers. It included the the west part of the Chugach Mountains, the north and west parts of Prince William Sound, most of Kenai Peninsula, and almost all the Kodiak Island group, all the way to Trinity islands.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Although the dimensions of the affected area were somewhat understated by the author in a previous publication as land surveys were still pending (see Source Mechanism Study of the Great Alaska Earthquake and Tsunami of 1964), in calculating the tsunami energy, the tsunami generating area was correctly estimated to encompass approximately 140,000 km2 (sq. Km) as shown in the adjacent map. This is the area of displacements under water as determined independently from tsunami wave refraction. Similarly reasonable is the estimate of total crustal volume of displacement of the ocean floor being 120 km3 (cubic km)(for tsunami energy calculations) in the tsunami-generating area in the Gulf of Alaska. The area of Prince William Sound was excluded. The estimates were arrived at from measurements of subsidence and uplift at Kodiak, Sitkalidak, Sitkinak and Portage and at Montague Island. Although these displacement measurements were few and sporadic, using these values and dimensions established indirectly by tsunami wave refraction results, a three-dimensional isopach of changes was obtained through mathematical integration to calculate the total volume of displacements in the ocean only. These estimates were then used to calculate the total earthquake energy that contributed to the generation of the open sea tsunami in the Gulf of Alaska, and not for the tsunami waves generated in the Prince William Sound.
Seismic Waves: In addition to damage in the epicentral region immediately following the quake, long period seismic waves traveled around the earth for several weeks. States as far away as Texas and Florida were affected with vertical motions of up to 5 to 10 cm. (adapted from D. Christensen, UAF). In fact, these seismic surface oscillations contributed to the generation of Seiches, as described below, in enclosed bodies of water, at great distances away from the affected region in Alaska
Seiches: The surface seismic waves traveling around the earth caused numerous Seiches in small enclosed bodies of water, such as boat harbors. In fact, seiche action in rivers, lakes, bayous, and protected harbors and waterways along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Texas caused minor damage. In Louisiana, several fishing boats sunk. Oscillations in the level of water in wells were reported from as far away as South Africa.
Earthquake Damage
The area where there was significant damage covered about 130,000 km2. Major structural damage occurred in many of the cities in Alaska, but primarily in Anchorage. Most of the structural damage of other coastal towns was primarily caused by the resulting tsunami waves. Also, the nearly four minute duration of earthquake shaking triggered many subaerial and underwater landslides, avalanches and caused ground liquefaction. Earthquake damage from the earthquake was heavy in many other towns, besides Anchorage. Towns such as Chitina, Glennallen, Homer, Hope, Kasilof, Kenai, Kodiak, Moose Pass, Portage, Seldovia, Seward, Sterling, Valdez, Wasilla, and Whittier sustained considerable earthquake damage.
Earthquake Damage at Anchorage
Although almost 120 kilometers away from the earthquake's epicenter, Anchorage sustained severe damage. Earthquake shock waves lasting approximately 3 minutes caused extensive damage or total destruction to buildings and houses over a large area of approximately 30 city blocks, mostly in the downtown area. All utilities were disrupted throughout the city and the suburbs.
Enormous landslides contributed to heavy damage in the downtown business section. Among the many building that were destroyed or damaged beyond repair in the downtown area, were the J.C. Penney Building and the Four Seasons apartment building, the latter a newly erected six-story structure which collapsed totally. Many other substantial, multistory buildings were damaged severely beyond repair.
Another huge landslide, the largest, at Turnagain Heights devastated about 130 acres of residential property destroying about 75 houses. Another large landslide at Government Hill caused severe destruction . All schools in Anchorage were nearly demolished. The huge landslide resulted in the severe damage to the Government Hill Grade School. Also, Anchorage High School and Denali Grade School were damaged severely. (photo of 4th Street in Anchorage after the earthquake; ITIC archives)
Losses and Death Toll from the Earthquake
The death toll was extremely small for a quake of this size. This was primarily due to the low population density of Alaska in 1964, the time of day (A holiday - Good Friday) and the type of material used to construct many buildings in Alaska(wood).
Deaths: 115 in Alaska, 16 in Oregon and California
Monetary losses: Estimated losses were in the $300-400 million dollars range(1964 dollars)
